Default Led turn signals question

Some websites recommend a pair of load resistors for LED turn signal lights. Will it work or burn out faster if I don't get load resistors?

you don't need load resistors you just need to upgrade your turn signal flasher relay under the hood in the fuse box.you can find them at pepboys or any parts stores for 12 bucks usually under the brand name TRIDON. your looking for a heavy duty or led flasher like this tridon ep34 http://www.amazon.com/Tridon-EP34-Flasher/dp/B00064LQKS the load resistors and relay flasher accomplish the same thing they prevent your led bulbs from hyper flashing. since leds use so little power like 1 watt your car thinks your bulbs are burnt out making your turn signals flash like a stobe light to warn you the bulbs out.
